Bjorn Firewalker Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Mount leering Daemons' heads to each corner? The Snake Mountain playset has those. Justify their presence as Necron Overlord Skeletor defeating a servant of each Chaos power, taking as trophies the still living Daemons' heads, and putting them in stasis fields so the Daemons cannot return to the Warp, to demonstrate his power and his belief in the ideal of how the Material is superior to the Immaterial. dice4thedicegod 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/369510-skelatoran-dynasty/page/4/#findComment-5702368 Share on other sites More sharing options...

dice4thedicegod Posted May 23, 2021 Author Share Posted May 23, 2021 I’m thinking maybe: ++ Super-Heavy Detachment ++ + Lord of War + Monolith . 4 Gauss Flux Arcs Monolith . 4 Gauss Flux Arcs Obelisk ++ patrol++ + HQ + Overlord Relic: Voltaic Staff, Staff of Light, Warlord, Warlord Trait (Codex 1): Enduring Will Royal Warden [ -1CP]: Dynastic Heirlooms, Relic (Mephrit): Conduit of Stars + Troops + Immortals : Gauss Blaster, 5x Immortal Necron Warriors . 20x Necron Warrior (Gauss Reaper): 20x Gauss Reaper + Elites + Canoptek Spyders Canoptek Spyder + Fast Attack + Canoptek Scarab Swarms . 9x Canoptek Scarab Swarm: 9x Feeder Mandibles Canoptek Scarab Swarms . 5x Canoptek Scarab Swarm: 5x Feeder Mandibles + Heavy Support + Annihilation Barge Gauss Cannon ++ Total: [103 PL, 5CP, 2,000pts] ++ Created with BattleScribe Normally, I’d be mephrit... but if I play the scarabs and spyder, it makes me wonder if I should do a custom dynasty (for 3” and obsec) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/369510-skelatoran-dynasty/page/4/#findComment-5702657 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Coolpants Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 I honestly thought the new monolith was supposed to be larger than the old.

dice4thedicegod Posted May 23, 2021 Author Share Posted May 23, 2021 I honestly thought the new monolith was supposed to be larger than the old. They look almost the same They look very similar next to each other (though as my ‘old’ one is incomplete, I don’t know if it’s missing any stand type bit for a base) It’s amazing how much the design improved. The new kit is really nice. The old kit is... dated.

dice4thedicegod Posted May 26, 2021 Author Share Posted May 26, 2021 Decided I needed a cryptek... and got inspired by kamopteth the crooked, but not his price tag. Luckily, I have more plasmacytes than I need!

Bjorn Firewalker Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 The Cryptek is well-painted. Use the body of a Space Marine or other enemy of the Dynasty, as a base decoration? The hunched back gives him a "mad scientist" vibe, which can be complimented with a "specimen" he intends to dissect/vivisect.

dice4thedicegod Posted May 26, 2021 Author Share Posted May 26, 2021 That’s a good idea. I’ll have to see if I have any imperial body parts to donate to science! Also, the dynasty welcomes another c’tan. Because c’tan are awesome!

Bjorn Firewalker Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Just had an idea: Combine a Tomb Blade and a Carnoptek Spyder kit, with a tiger's head, to create a Panthor for Overlord Skeletor to ride. I kinda wanna see He-Man as a Primaris Lt ... or a marine "Man at arms" in orange as a trophy... If there's a second tiger head to spare, paint it green, and put it in a pool of blood on Panthor's base, to show Overlord Skeletor's companion has triumphed over Battle Cat? dice4thedicegod and MithrilForge 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/369510-skelatoran-dynasty/page/4/#findComment-5704124 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dice4thedicegod Posted May 28, 2021 Author Share Posted May 28, 2021 Managed to get a crusade (25PL) game in before my lgs goes to 50pl in June. Went up against a more experienced drukhari force... and annihilated all the feeble meatbags :) Not surprising as these aeldari are scrawny opponents, not like that cursed he-man! Now Skelator is blooded, with 2 traits (due to the “regroup” mission from beyond the veil: +1w and rerolls his to hit rolls of 1) And... I have the 3 requisition points to bring in evil-lyn as a chronomancer with triple upgrades (warlord trait, cryptek arcana and battle trait) as I move up to 50pl. Onto greyskull!!!

dice4thedicegod Posted May 29, 2021 Author Share Posted May 29, 2021 Based on the recent leaks...

Captain Coolpants Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 (edited) I've seen this a few times now. Its sooo tempting to do it as well! Its hugely cheaper getting unused reanimators from ebay than actual spyders. But I like the actual sculpt too much to try it myself.

dice4thedicegod Posted June 8, 2021 Author Share Posted June 8, 2021 I’d tried to make a doomstalker out of a reanimator a while back… decided I didn’t like it and needed another spider. So, there’s a fair bit of hacking around on this one, and don’t think it looks quite as good as the other. Big question is… do the two high arched ‘legs’ at the back look ok or should they come off?
